State Media|All is set for President Mnangagwa’s Youth Interface Rally at Rimuka Stadium in Kadoma today.

A target of 25 000 youths has been set to attend the rally.

The meeting is expected to tackle a range of issues impacting on the youths including employment opportunities and price increases.

Further, the indaba is expected to endorse President Mnangagwa as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 harmonised elections.

Kadoma has been a hive activity in the last few days as youths, provincial and national party leaders worked around the clock to ensure a flawless event.

It was also brisk business for most guest houses in Kadoma and Chegutu, as they were fully booked last night, for the first time in a long time.

Mashonaland West youths yesterday had a car rally where about 30 vehicles went around Rimuka, Ngezi, Patchway, Rio Tinto, Westview and Mornington mobilising people for the event.

Zanu-PF national youth secretary for external relations Sibongile Sibanda, who was part of an advance team, said.

“In terms of mobilisation countrywide, all provinces are ready to come in numbers including all the affiliates; that is ZICOSU (Zimbabwe Congress of Students Union), NYS (National Youth Service), Ziliwaco, and children of war veterans, among others, are all coming to Kadoma for the youth convention.

“One of the critical issues that the young people want to see addressed is the issue of machetes and criminal activities related to machetes,” said Sibanda.

Many youth groups including youths in mining, youth entrepreneurs, youths in business, environmental youth groups, and youths in tourism, have confirmed attendance.
